Practical Virtue Ethics

View through CrossRef
AbstractRenewed attention to virtue and vice has resulted in a wealth of “virtue ethical” articles which deal with, for example, environmental virtues and vices, and the notion of the virtuous lawyer or doctor (such as “the lawyer as friend”). This development is to be applauded, for it greatly enriches the moral landscape and focuses attention on the ethical nature of agents in their aspects as beings of character (seeCharacter; Moral Character; Virtue). Nonetheless, to explicate specific virtues and vices is notipso factoto proffer a distinctively virtue ethical approach to applied ethics. Thus, the question of what counts as virtue ethics is important in the practical application of virtue ethics as a distinctive type of moral theory (seeVirtue Ethics).
